The failure on the save causes the victim to fall on their knees, becoming effectively prone and unable to move from her spot, until the adept leaves her sight.

The brand cannot make them do something they would not normally do under any circumstances, such as harm themselves, betray their closest friends.

Saving Throw: Will or Fortitude, See text
Description: Shaping her lips into a kiss, the martial artist leans forward and strokes her foe’s chest. Then, with a grinning snarl, she plunges her hand through his ribs and rips out his heart.
If the attack hits, it deals damage as normal, and in addition the adept has the following choices:
1. Do nothing. Then the terrible wound closes as the adept withdraws their hand, leaving only a scar in a shape of adepts personal sigil. The feeling of the adept holding their heart remains with the victim, though, giving them a permanent -3 profane malus on any social interactions or will saves against the adept.
2. Crush the heart. The target must make a Fortitude saving throw with DC 19+Cha, or instantly die. If they do not die, they receive 16d6 damage.
3. Rip the heart out of the target's chest. As long as the adept holds the heart, which requires the full use of their hand, it continues to beat, and the victim continues to live, but it is now under full control of the caster. The caster may give her any command as a mental swift action, and the victim cannot disobey.
If the command given is completely against the victim's nature, it is entitled to a single Will save (19+cha). If it wins, it may choose to die, rather than obey.
At any time while still holding the hand the adept may either put the heart back (as in option 1) or crush/discard it (as in option 2)""

Saving Throw:
Description: The adept abandons all pretences of defence -- he seeks the opponent's weapons and embraces his attacks. He does not add his Dexterity bonus to the AC and is considered flat-footed for the purposes of Sneak Attacks and calculating AC. He still retains the ability to do AoOs.
However, abandoning defence allows him to concentrate on offence. Any attack against the adept provokes Attacks of OpportunityLevelStance 8
Type: Stance
Casting Time: Swift Action
Target:
Duration: Stance
Comments:
Saving Throw:
Description: The adept considers base biology inconsequential. While in this stance he gains most of the traits of the undead -
Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).
Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, and death effects.
Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Immune to damage to its physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution), as well as to fatigue and exhaustion effects.
Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
Not at risk of death from massive damage.
Gains DR = Initiator Level/Slashing

He does not get any drawbacks of being undead, though. He is still healed by the positive AND negative energy, he still has Constitution score and extra HP it provides, and he is not destroyed upon reaching 0 hp, and he does not get extra damage from spells like Searing Light. He cannot be turned or controlled, and his type is considered humanoid, not undead.
I have mostly eyeballed the levels and numbers, so welcome any balance/wording suggestions.

The second is a half-style that builds up on the ideas of Tiger Claw, Iron Heart and Stone Dragon, making a sort of meta-style.
It's really poorly balanced, and I would really appreciate a look at balancing it.

Three Heads of the Chimera Style.
Key Skill: Martial Lore //though it doesn't really use it.
Form weapons: N/A
This is an advanced style made for (mostly Warblade) practitioners of the three "base" styles. It therefore does not have basic level 1-4 Manoeuvres.
It's not native to any class, and requires a feat to pick up Strikes and Stances of this Style (see below).

Type: counter

Target:
Duration:
Comments:
Saving Throw:
Description: When attacked, the adept uses three styles of defence - at the same time. When initiating this counter, he may roll Jump check in place of his AC. This check is modified as usuall by the lack of jumping start, and all other applicable modifiers. If the adept check is greater than the attack roll, the attack misses. If it is less than attack roll, the attack succeeds, but the adept gains DR 10/adamantine against it. And if the check is exactly equal to the attack roll, then the attack succeeds in full, but provokes an AoO from the adept LevelManeuver 7

Saving Throw:
Description: As a full attack, the adept releases two strikes, each at his highest attack bonus -2. For each attack he may apply the benefits of any 6th level or lower strike from the base schools with casting time of 1 standard action.
Those maneuvers need to be readied and are expended as normalLevelManeuver 8

Saving Throw:
Description: The adept jumps an impossibly long distance (as if he had a running start), and then makes a single attack that combines the virtues of his three base schools
If the Jump check is greater than the opponent AC, the swift jump leaves the opponent flat-footed. Regardless of the check, the concentrated power of the attack ignores the armor and shield bonus AC. If it hits, the attack deals additional 10d6 damage, and if the attack roll is greater than opponents flat-footed AC, and the opponent is wearing an armor, it receives the same amount of damage, potentially sundering itLevelManeuver 9

Description: For an adept weapon is but a metaphor of a deeper truth. When he makes an unarmed attack, he may have it take statistics of any non-reach weapon of the base styles. His attacks are considered a +2 adamantine, Keen (Impact if it's bashing) version of the weapon. Changing the type of weapon his strikes emulate is a swift action, as he readjusts his stance and internal energiesLevelStance 8
Type:
Casting Time:
Target:
Duration:
Comments:
Saving Throw:
Description: In lieu of making a regular full attack, the adept may choose to attack thrice, each time with their full attack bonus
If, during the round he uses that option, he is also using a boost from a base school, he may add +4 to attack (if the boost is from Iron Heart), +2d6 to damage (if boost is from Tiger Claw) or bypass the DR and Hardness of the opponent (if the boost is from Stone Dragon)

And a feat:
Leashing Three Beasts [Esoteric][Tactical]
Prerequisites: Knowledge of a manoeuvre from Iron Heart, Stone Dragon and Tiger Claw schools,BAB +6
Benefits:
1. Waves stop the wind. The swordsman knows the his Manoeuvres, and he knows how to counter. When attacked by a Maneuver from a Tiger Claw, Iron Heart or Stone Dragon school, the swordsman may use the stillness of the Stone Heart to stop the savagery of Tiger Claw, the agility and instinct of Tiger Claw to evade the straightforward attacks of Iron Heart, and the perfect balance and speed of Iron Heart to avoid the power of Stone Heart.
Expending the manoeuvre as an immediate action, that can be taken after the attack is rolled, but before the defence is rolled, he dampens the effects of the opposing schools manoeuvre. All variable parts of the effects are set to 1 per die. (That is a manoeuvre that would deal 12d6 damage deals 12 damage instead).DCs of saving throws and non-variable parts of the effect are not affected.
2. Winds douses the Waves: The swordsman knows the core of the Sublime Way, from which the power of the Manoeuvres lies. When a foe within his threat range is regaining manoeuvres, if any of manoeuvres so regained belong of his schools, that provokes an AoO from the Adept of Three Beasts. If the attack is successful and deals damage, the opponent must make a Fort save with DC equal to 15+damage dealt. On failure, his attempt to regain manoeuvres is interrupted, and he does not get his manoeuvres ready
3. Waves and Wind Are One: The fighter achieved a deeper underlying principle of all the base schools. He applies the benefit of his [Fighter Bonus Feats] and Discipline Focus class features to all the form weapons of the Tiger Claw, Stone Dragon and Iron Heart schools, as long as other prerequisites are fulfilled (e.g. can't apply Finesse to Heavy Mace)
Finally this is an [Esoteric] feat of the Three Heads of the Chimera Style, You may, therefore take a Manoeuvres and stances of that school whenever you gain one from your class progressions.

Comments: This strike requires adept to weild a wooden weapon, such as quarterstaff or club, coated with poison.
Saving Throw: See text
Description: The martial artist understands the movement of energies and internal fluids in the poison-producing plants, and forces the weapon he weilds to reproduce it.
He makes an attack as usual, and if he deals damage, the victim is subjected to whatever poison or ravage is coating his weapon. The DC save for the poison is increased by the users Wisdom modifier, and any Injury, Contact or Injestion poison may be used that way.LevelManoeuvre 1

Comments: Is it a strike, a booster or a counter?
Saving Throw:
Description: The martial artist lures his opponent into his trap, much like carnivorous plants lures a fly. The martial artist's actions provoke an AoO from a chosen opponent.

Description: The fibers of the adept's muscles are strengthened and compacted through excercise, meditation, and alchemical substances imbibed during the traingin. When needed, he can use that to make them almost plant-like, hard and unyielding.

Casting Time: 1 minute
Target:

Saving Throw:
Description: The adept metabolizes a poison in her own body, before extracting it with a small measure of his blood. By making a Craft (alchemy) roll at the appropriate DC +5 he may create one dose of any organic poison of his choice. and then he makes a small 1hp cut on his body, releasing it with the blood in order to use it later. The process is not perfect -- for one, the poison only keeps it properties for 1 hour, and for another it is not possible to extract the poison perfectly, therefore the artists is also subjected to the effects of the poiosn himself.

Saving Throw:
Description: The attack, combines letting out the poisoned blood and affecting speicific parts of victim's body forces the internal protective mechanisms into overdrive. The attack on victiim (or, sometimes used without an opposing throw on a willing patient), with potion in their system causes damage as usual, and immediately neutralises the potion. However, this leaves the victim nauseated for the next minute.LevelManoeuvre 6

Description: Next attack on an enemy with poison in their system (not yet rolling the save for the secondary damage) draws some of the poisonous essence out.

Comments:
Saving Throw:
Description: The martial artist subtly alters the poison such that it poisons both the mind and the body of the subject at the same time. The attack is made normally, with a poisoned weapon. If the attack is successful and the subject fails her saving throw, she experiences the effects of a Solipsism spell in addition to the poison's normal effect. The effects last while the poison is in her system -- that is until the secondary damage is dealt. In addition the subject considers things that happened in the ten-minute interval before the poisoning as a part of her dream, only recalling vague, and often metaphoric idea of what transpired in that time.LevelManoeuvre 9

Saving Throw:
Description: Everything is cure, and everything is poison - it is merely a question of the right attitude and technique. While in this stance the usual effect of any poisons on the adept is suppressed as if by Delay Poison effect. In addition, if he is poisoned, he takes the primary effect of the poison as an enhancement bonus, up to a maximum of +8, with each bonus lasting for 1 hour. That is a poison that deals 1d4 Str/1d4 Str damage would instead give a 1d4 bonus to Strength

Saving Throw:
Description: Long and awkward goodbyes are uncouth. When an adept leaves, she does so without haste, and in style, yet without giving her host a reason to keep her back.
This maneuver is done as a part of a withdrawal action. During withdrawal, the adept is not provoking attack of opportunity for moving at all, not just for the starting squareLevelManoeuvre 5

Saving Throw: Fort 15+Cha
Description: The attack is rolled normally, and in addition to dealing normal damage it poisons a victim with a 1d10 Con/1d10 Con poison. The adept may delay poison by as much as (her Initiator level) days. The period is set when the strike is executed, and may not be changed later.
During that time, the victim (damage notwithstanding) feels fine, and only a very careful examination, using a Heal skill at the same DC as the saving throw would revel her as being poisonedLevelManoeuvre 4

Description: Sometimes even most adept socialite makes a mistake -- doesn't everyone? But a truly adept person knows how to fix a her misstep.
This attack is rolled as normal. If it hits it deals nonlethal damage +10d6 nonlethal damage. In addition, the opponent forgets all the details about the attacker that would allow them to identify who may have assaulted them, or the specific methods (weapons, magic, manoeuvres etc) she employed. Successful saving throw allows the victim to keep her memories and halves the extra damageLevelManoeuvre 6

Saving Throw: Will 17+Cha
Description: The adept is nowhere near her target when she attacked -- or so everyone would swear.
The adept moves through the field, delivering full attack to one or multiple opponents. Before each attack she may teleport up to 30 ft, but no more than 30 ft from her original location. At the end of the maneuver she teleports back where she started.
Those that fail the saving throw, however, barely see her move -- they would in fact swear that she was standing there all that time, and never even came close to the victim. Even those attacked themselves can be so confused if they fail their saving throws, which renders them flat-footed against the adept's attacksLevelManoeuvre 8

Saving Throw: Fort 18+Cha
Description: The attack is rolled normally, and in addition to dealing normal damage it poison, that activates the next time she goes to sleep. The poison's effects are paralysis (10 minutes)/death. In the period between paralysis setting in and the death, the victim is said to be in an unspeacable agony. Even if the second saving throw is made, the victim still suffers 10d6 damage.
During the time before the poison activates, the victim (damage notwithstanding) feels fine, and only a very careful examination, using a Heal skill at the same DC as the saving throw would revel her as being poisoned
If the victim would die as a result of this manoeuvre, it appears as if her heart simply stoppedLevelManoeuvre 9

Saving Throw:
Description: Even when parted, the warm relationships remain.
The strike attacks and deals 10d6 extra damage. If it kills the victim, the victim is propped up by the adept's energy embedded into her body. She has 1 hp (and can be healed up to maxiumum of half her original hp), and is controlled by the adept as if using a Dominate Monster Spell, except without being able to resist. When the duration expires, she dies.

Saving Throw:
Description: The gentlest of touches can kill.
In this stance, the adept can make a touch attack instead of a normal attack action, full attack, maneuver etc.
If he so does, he foregoes the damage from the weapon, any precision damage (sneak attack/sudden strike), power attack (and equivalent) damage and bonus damage from strength. However it is counted as an attack for the purpose of any effects that require an attack roll.
If the victim is flat-footed, then nobody is even aware that the attack took place unless they have been observing the adept, and win an opposed Spot vs Bluff rollLevelStance 1

Saving Throw:
Description: Appearances matter, and even combat is no reason to be untidy. Even as she weaves through the combat, the adept ensures that her hair is un-mussed, her attire perfectly clean and undamaged and her manicure remains as perfect as it was before the combat.
She adds +4 to any opposing rolls or saving throws on effects that target her equipment or clothing (such as Sunder, Shatter, etc). Moreover, as long as the adept has not received any damage while not in this stance, it is impossible to identify him as having been in combat at all -- no cursory examination reveals any signs of fighting, and any Spot or Sense Motive roll that would establish her as having been in a fight is done at -5 circumstance penaltyLevelStance 3

Description: Even in the heat of the battle the adept is unperturbed, moving with calm, friendly demeanour and maintaining a civil conversation. This is vastly disconcerting to his oppnents, who are usually confused by the juxtaposition.
While in this stance the adept may Feint using a swift action. In addition, if he has 5 or more ranks in Diplomacy, she adds +2 dodge bonus to her AC against any one opponent with whom she engages in the conversation (the opponent must be able to hear and understand the adept).LevelStance 5

Description: When adept engages in conversations, all would watch and listen, and none would interrupt.
The adept fascinates all those who can see her. It's a Su [Mind-Affecting] Effect, that lasts up to 1 minute after the adept has left their sight.The effect is not interrupted by anything the adept does, no matter how threatening, unless and until she deals damage to the target -- and even then, others will continue to act as if they're observing a normal, albeit scintillating conversation.
